Centers of Excellence

From Seed to Success

Solid5 has several centers of excellence – dynamic creative campuses, where our early stage companies receive a suite of customized services, including office space, equipment, hands-on management support, strategic guidance as well as access to our expert mentors and vast network of global strategic partners. Our experts come from various business and technology fields and have years of experience in building successful companies. After the initial growth phase within our centers of excellence, the startups are well equipped to raise additional financing from later stage venture capital investors – including the main Solid5 fund.

Our Business Model

Our ultimate aim is to ensure successful startup exits. Exit strategies range from merger and acquisition to listing on major public stock exchanges or other holding dispositions.

Our Network

We have cultivated an extensive network comprising entrepreneurs, inventors, technology transfer organizations, lawyers, patent attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, venture capitalists, and commercial enterprises in technology markets. With help of our extensive network of contacts, we are able to generate high quality business process flow and efficiently arrange fund-raising activities.

Physical Facilities and Support Ecosystems

During the initial stages of operations, our portfolio companies are housed in one of our two main incubation facilities – in Tel-Aviv (Israel) or in Kiev (Ukraine). Our campuses are meant as secure and comfortable spaces, which nourish entrepreneurship and innovation. We believe that aspiring entrepreneurs benefit from working in close proximity to each other in an environment that encourages cooperation, sharing ideas, brainstorming and mutual learning. By working physically in one of our incubators, the companies have direct access to our extensive support structure, as well as to shared laboratories and equipment. Hosting the companies in our facilities also increases our ability to follow up on startups’ progress, and if necessary promptly intervene and provide assistance and support.
